With the new rear exhaust, where do you all expect the next performance updates to be on the car? Do you think the double radiators will spill over to the W03? Will we see the return of the MK3 frong wing?
I think we'll see some reworking of the rear bodywork a few times before the year is out. The front and rear wing seem pretty well sorted, not sure if there is much to gain there.
To me the new exhaust allows the team to improve the front of the car, as the rear tyres run colder now. This means they can develop more grip at the rear which may be the gate for the MKIII frontwing. As i said many times before, the good lap times recorded during tests in cold barcelona were the result of a "tyre heatener". It was not the aerodynamical gain, but the hot air. The team only added the bigger vanes to prevent hot air from hitting the tyres LATER on. And i do agree with a reworked rear bodywork as it seems to be only the first try of an improvement.
